Georgia had to admit, the guy had guts. He had some big balls thinking he could just waltz over to her and her weapon and pick it up like it was nothing. He did just that, too! Of course, there was a tad bit of strain when he went to lift it but strain was expected. If anything, Georgia thought her face would intimidate him more than the weight of her ax. She didn't look like the girl one would easily approach and talk to. It was obvious on that day than most! The fact that she was ready to chop people up during breakfast must have spelled it all out to the entire class and some people in the rest of the school. This Brant guy, on the other hand, only looked interested.
An admirable trait.
The edges of her lips curled up into what people liked to call 'a smile'. Not something usually seen on her face but a rare feat if it were to happen. For any around her, especially Brant, that caught the expression, they should be honored. It left as quickly as it came, washing away the moment he mentioned another mace. She herself didn't even have two axes; all of her dirty work could be easily done with one. Though, now that it was brought to her attention all of a sudden, another ax would definitely come in handy. Georgia traced the outlines of his mace, being careful to rub her fingers over the spokes. She did not dare touch the tips of it. The worst thing to do is to take someone's weapon for granted. Brant might have sharpened the tips one hundred times over! She was hard headed, but smart about it.
"Another mace, huh? I bet it'd be horrible to take here and back home. Just by the way you have to carry this thing. Is it hard trying to avoid bludgering someone's face in when you walk with this?"she asked, not looking over to him once since her smile faded. Instead, her eyes were set heavily on the mace that she lifted, testing its balance and the steel core he told her about.
Her tentativeness went noticed after all! She hoped and prayed and whispered silently to herself that Tobias would notice her anxiety with taking the spear. She did not want to puncture someone in the gut or gouge someone's eye out, for pain seemed to be the first thing Keniz was forever prone to. Glasses or no glasses. A simple stumble in a hallway would heed to very drastic results, as far as someone's leg being twisted under a tossed and strewn nunchuck! That alone made her tiny hands snap back to their original position in her lap. She was also trying to be desperately wary of Rolan Sensei's gaze. His rules specifically called for the exchanging of weapons. Surely he would understand her worry of wielding a lethal weapon with -40 vision!
"Thanks. I really...I just....Bad things happen with me, you know? Heh, you know more than anybody. You know? With the...with this...?"she explained, showing him the scar on her neck. That scar was given to her by Tobias's spear last year in AoA. Kenzi saved herself the entire story, only remembering the important part: She was trying to keep Georgia from swinging her ax at a girl who stepped on her shoe, and when Kenzi reached for her arm, she slipped forward...neck slipping right across Tobias's spear. Half of the hallway inhabitants thought she was dead as she bled on the blank floors of the hallways. In all actuality, if it weren't for Tobias whirling her to the infirmary, she might have!
Kenzi was pulled from her recollective vision at Tobias's inquiry of her shuriken. With a simple nod and a small smile, the star that was flat in her palm was now reached out so that he could grab it as he wished. His compliment was not short coming either, her face being beat with a red marker as soon as he said it. Tobias was always sweet and caring. Kenzi should have remembered that.
"I tried my hardest then like everyone else, but I can't tell you how glad I am to here that. It was hard doing all of that on my first year. I really hope I haven't gotten worse."she chuckled before he asked his next question. Her expression now seemed in a permanent joy for those few minutes, completely forgetting about the fiascoes that ensured previously.
"I toss them either Frisbee wise, horizontally, or ax wise, vertically. Believe it or not, Georgia actually showed me her form on slashing downwards. Throwing a star is harder. You have to let go at the peak of her throw so that the wind can carry it on the direction you're tossing it. For example..."she said, rummaging in her stash for another while she stood up, not caring if anyone else was watching. "If I was throwing it diagonally, like this,"she said, twisting her body in a diagonal pull, "I would through the star right now, so it would travel diagonally after my arm moves."she said, standing and smiling, rubbing her eyes that were burning like crazy from lack of vision.[/DASH]
